The Dispatcher Paragon solution consists of multiple components. Most of the configuration is stored in the database, which should be backed up regularly. However, for a complete backup, all configuration files or folders of a particular component need to be backed up to a safe location (e.g., network storage or backup tape).

Backing Up Configuration Files

To perform a configuration files backup, copy all files or folders in the Configuration files path column to a backup location. When copying, preserve the folder structure to avoid mixing up the configuration files.

The Backup Script for Collecting Configuration Files

Should you want to automate the Dispatcher Paragon configuration files backup, you can use the following PowerShell script:

If you want to change the backup destination folder, modify the attribute backupfolder in the script accordingly.

Note that you should alter the script if you also want to back up Scanning scripts specific for your environment.
